Pair it with:

Inniskillin Icewine Spark Vidal

Why?

  • 🌟 1. Balanced Sweetness

    • Rice pudding is mildly sweet—often flavored with vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg.

    • Inniskillin Sparkling Vidal Icewine has concentrated natural sugars from frozen grapes, delivering luscious flavors without being cloying.

    • It matches the dessert’s sweetness without overwhelming it.

    🍋 2. Bright Acidity

    • The wine’s high acidity cuts through the rich, creamy texture of rice pudding.

    • This provides a refreshing contrast and keeps your palate from feeling weighed down by the dessert’s starch and dairy.

    🍑 3. Complementary Flavors

    • Vidal Icewine is packed with peach, apricot, mango, citrus, and honey notes.

    • These flavors pair beautifully with the pudding’s vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg spices, enhancing the dessert's warmth and depth.

    🍾 4. Sparkling Texture

    • The bubbles add a playful lightness, lifting the dense texture of rice pudding and making each bite feel lighter and more elegant.

    • This effervescence also cleanses the palate, preventing the dessert from becoming monotonous.

5. Bonus Tips:

  • Avoid bone-dry wines—they’ll taste sour next to sweet pudding.

  • Match sweetness level: the wine should be as sweet or sweeter than the dessert.

  • If your pudding is flavored (e.g., cardamom, rosewater, or coconut), a lightly spiced Gewürztraminer can also work beautifully.
